Does anyone else have problem with Titanic?

I think that if Rose hadn't let them arrest Jack for allegedly taking the necklace, they wouldn't have wasted all that time trying to get him out of there, so they could have both lived. It's her fault for not standing up for him.

I didn't care about the necklace at all, I thought it was hideous, I wouldn't wear that if you paid me.

Only that people have been trying to pressure me into seeing the damn thing since 1997 and I'm really not interested.

Rose thought he did take the necklace and then she realized she knew he didn't take it. I guess she thought about it and realized she should trust him than believing her fiancee.

No offense taken ... Your thoughts are logical, but the emotions aren't supposed to work that way, I guess. As far as whether selfish to let her live and he dies, I guess it is in a way. But it's one of those things that I guess is a lose/lose situation. Same with the pendant. True it could have been sold and a donation made someplace in Jack's honor.

LolSame here.

my problem is that the Titanic was able to stay afloat with Kate Winslet on it---just kidding guys-a person I know is a big Kate Winslet fan(but not as big as Kate-hehehehehehe)--just teasing.

Not that into love movies usually. When someone mentions that movie, i just always think about how when my mom dragged me with her to see it in the theater as a kid i realllllly had to pee for about the last hour of the movie. I kept thinking it was almost over, but it kept dragging on.

I liked Avatar, though.

Whaaaa? Kate Winslet isn't fat. She just looked big next to DiCaprio cuz he's a stick.

this is in fact exactly why I always wonder what's so special about the history of this ship.

"because it was supposed to be the unsinkable Titanic!"

My response: guess what? It sunk...move on.....

I am just kidding-a radio personality that I listen to on Sirius radio-has a crush on Kate Winslet and people that call in tease her about Kate Winslet being heavy-she is very beautiful and everyone calls in to tease her.

Interesting topic!

~James Cameron was making a statement about what happened on Titanic...women and children were allowed on the lifeboats first, thus, more women survived the sinking of the ship than men. Jack dying and Rose surviving capsules this reality.

~I thought Rose seemed sorta selfish too, in that respect. She just stayed on that floating debris while poor Jack languished in the frigid temps of the north Atlantic. Maybe she knew Jack wanted it that way? He wanted her to go on and have a long life (which she does, you can tell by the photos of her at the end).
It also further illustrates the statement Cameron was making. Men selflessly sacrificed their lives so that women could keep theirs. The point was driven home more than once.

~ He sank because he was frozen solid and very heavy. Maybe she did feel a pang of guilt, because, at the end, she sent that beautiful, rare diamond down to be with him, as if she is comforting his spirit.
If she didn't know he was gone, she knew once she freed his grip from the debris and he swiftly sank.
It was a statement about the nameless, faceless on Titanic and how they didn't exist. There was no record of Jack, not even a dead body, that proved he even existed. Who knows how many others suffered the same fate, and not just on Titanic.

~ She threw the diamond into the sea to be with him. The movie implies that she died that night. The diamond symbolized her heart and love. She was returning to Jack and the others you see in the closing shot. She was going home to Titanic.

Yeeeaah, I always thought it was kind of dumb they didn't take turns, but I thought maybe her brain was kind of frozen and she didn't think of it or didn't realize how much time had passed. I mean she was really zoned out there for a little while.

It didn't bother me when she threw the thing in though. I wouldn't call it a "life-long effort" to keep a little treasure for your whole life. It would have been cool if she gave it to her kid (grandkid?) so she could have the money, but I kind of understand that it was a private romantic secret. Part of that whole "A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets" thing. The last secret she had, after she told her whole story to those guys. (And maybe she thought it belonged down there with Jack and with her past.) It's not like they were poor, either, so her kid didn't really need it. And I'm sure she became famous after that anyway for telling her story and having her drawing found. (But I don't think she would have cared at all.)

Kate Winslets curves made her character more believable to me. If she had been a stick figure like most of the Hollywood actresses are - I wouldn't have believed it.

I mean, did you see what kind of food the first class people were eating. OMG. That stuff looked rich and delicious! Did you see any of the women hitting the ship's fitness center? I saw them mostly strolling around the deck at most. Edwardian ladies were curvier and a little heavier than the "ideal" of the late 20th and early 21st century.

As for the actress Kate at the time of this filming - if I asked most of the hetero guys I knew (and any lesbian girls that I knew) they would all of happily said that she could park her shoes under their beds any ole time and they wouldn't have made a single comment about her size

Yes, that is true. Women of that time were curvier. They certainly didn't look athletic and have muscular arms.

And I always wondered why I was more drawn to Kate than Leo when watching that movie (I AM gay).

I remember that. Everyone I knew was trying to get me to teach them how to play it on the piano.

I love "My Heart Will Go On", what could anyone possibly have against it?
